Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoonful of sugar syrup
  • 1 teaspoonful of orange bitters
  • 5 teaspoonfuls of old tom gin
  • 5 drops of noyau
  • a piece of lemon zest the size of a ten-cent piece
  • one cocktail only

Directions

1

The following formula is for one cocktail only; the same proportions must be observed in making any number of them. Have the glasses well chilled before beginning, and always use sugar syrup instead of sugar for sweetening.

2

1 teaspoonful of sugar syrup. 1 teaspoonful of orange bitters. 5 teaspoonfuls of Old Tom gin. 5 drops of noyau or maraschino.

3

Enough cracked ice to chill but not to dilute. Stir with a spoon until thoroughly chilled and blended. The mixture must not be shaken, as that fills it with air. Lastly, take a piece of lemon zest the size of a ten-cent piece, hold it over the cocktail, and express a little of the oil, then drop it in the glass.
